Inappropriate hugging
In Adelaide, Australia, an elementary school has banned hugging and other displays of affection between pre-teen girls and boys. The reason behind this was to set a good example for the younger students. The children of Largs Bay Primary school in the southern city of Adelaide were spoken to about this inappropriate behavior. 6th and 7th grade students who are seen as role models by our younger students set strong standard behaviors, principal Julie Gale sent in an e-mail referring to the 11-13 year old students. She said hugging between friends wasn't band, but they do not allow displays of affection.Steve Portlock of the South Australia Primary Principals Association said "One of the things that is most important for these schools to do is to talk to their students about what's appropriate and what's not appropriate, whether it is about language or the things they wear and certainly in this case about the way boys and girls interact, especially when it comes to the stage of being boyfriends and girlfriends."
